Giannis Antetokounmpo reached some rarefied air on Thursday night, turning in a triple-double as the Bucks defeated Portland 137-129 in Milwaukee.
Antetokounmpo scored 24 points, pulled in 19 rebounds, and handed out 15 assists, becoming the first Bucks player to record a 20-15-15 game.
Eric Bledsoe led the way with 30 points for Milwaukee, matching the scoring output by Portland's C.J. McCollum. Six Bucks scored in double figures.
Milwaukee won its sixth game in a row heading into Saturday's showdown with the Detroit Pistons. The win keeps the Bucks on top of the Eastern Conference by a half game over Boston.
